Just think how much money has been save by 270,000 striking civil servants. If they did this a few days a month to make it count for a week we would be out of the black hole a bit quicker0

I can never understand the legality if strikes.
Yes a strike can be legal, but wont it always break the person's employment contract? My question is, why dont people teminate on that?0 -

You have to jump through hoops to have a legal strike. Once you have done so it is called a protected strike & you can't be sacked or discriminated against.
If its an illegal or "wildcat" strike then you can be sacked.
Thats the law & its also what the law should do - balance individual rights & responsibilities.US housing: it's not a bubble

The problem in these situations is you would have to basically sack the majority of your workforce.
Might get your own back on your staff, but would leave the company in dire straits unable to function.0 -

But very useful in times when you want to get rid of staff. Get rid of those who dont want to work.0 -

So the law governing strikes negates the employment contract?
That a crock of **** country we live in.0
